    Abstract:
    The syn- and anti-isomers of the bay-region diol-epoxides of chrysene and of 3-hydroxychrysene and their metabolic precursors have been investigated for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium (reversion to histidine prototrophy) and V79 Chinese hamster cells (acquirement of resistance to 6-thioguanine) and for transforming activity in M2 mouse prostate cells. Other known and potential chrysene metabolites have been included in mutagenicity experiments. Direct mutagenic activity in S. typhimurium TA 100 exhibited, in order of potency, anti-triol-epoxide greater than syn-triol-epoxide greater than anti-diol-epoxide greater than syn-diol-epoxide greater than chrysene 5,6-oxide much greater than chrysene-1,2-quinone, chrysene-3,4-quinone, and chrysene 5,6-quinone. Chrysene, the six isomeric chrysenols, and the trans-dihydrodiols [trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydrochrysene (chrysene-1,2-diol), trans-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydrochrysene, trans-5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydrochrysene, and 9-hydroxy-trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydrochrysene (9-hydroxychrysene-1,2-diol)] were inactive per se but were activated to mutagens in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-fortified postmitochondrial fraction (S9 mix) of liver homogenate from Arochlor 1254-treated rats. Chrysene, 3-hydroxychrysene, chrysene-1,2-diol, and 9-hydroxychrysene-1,2-diol were activated efficiently; the other compounds were activated weakly. In S. typhimurium TA 98, the mutagenic activities of the chrysene derivatives were weak in comparison with those in the strain TA 100. trans-3,4-Dihydroxy-3,4-dihydrochrysene (in the presence of S9 mix) was the most efficacious mutagen in strain TA 98. The relative mutagenic potencies of the directly active compounds differed from the results obtained in strain TA 100, in that in strain TA 98 the anti-diol-epoxide was more mutagenic than the triol-epoxides and chrysene 5,6-oxide was more mutagenic than syn-diol-epoxide and syn-triol-epoxide. In V79 cells, the order of mutagenic potency was: anti-triol-epoxide greater than anti-diol-epoxide greater than syn-triol-epoxide greater than syn-diol-epoxide greater than chyrsene 5,6-oxide greater than chrysene-1,2-diol (in the presence of S9 mix) greater than 9-hydroxychrysene-1,2-diol (in the presence of S9 mix) greater trans-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydrochrysene in the presence of S9 mix). Chrysene, 3-hydroxychrysene, 5-hydroxychrysene, and 6-hydroxychrysene showed no mutagenic effects in V79 cells, either in the presence or absence of S9 mix.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
